The aim of the project is to promote unity of youth in spite of their cultural differences and different backgrounds. In today's world a big problem is losing a national identity because people are forgetting old traditions, national costumes, songs, dances, languages…We believe that the world would be a much more interesting and richer place if we learn how to cherish these differences and learn about them. That is why we want to enable these young people to learn about different cultures and preserve this priceless knowledge. Camp will promote richness of diversity in culture and tradition between participants of the camp. Through the workshops, volunteers will learn about the importance of preserving of culture and tradition and exchange information about different life styles in the world, national songs and dances, habits, costumes and symbols. Beside this, it will be presented Serbian national heritage and costumes of people from the countryside in which volunteer can participate. Workshops will include activities of promoting tolerance of national differences as something that unites people, breaking prejudices about different nations. In the second part of the camp, volunteers will prepare part of the programme for traditional manifestation in Draca with local young people, and present it on the stage for people from village.
